Welcome to my Blogging Home!
Healing and divine health are God’s perfect will for mankind! God expects us to care for the physical bodies with which He has blessed us and not neglect or abuse them in any way!
*Unfortunately, I know that He never meant for me to eat soooo much chocolate (tee-hee)!
Healthy lifestyle is birthed from a DECISION and is accelerated by ACCOUNTABILITY!There are many great stories about "PROGRAMS" that help you loose weight and no one program is the magic! So I am not endorsing the “Program” listed below, nor am I against it. Life’s disciplines are about a DECISION – and ACCOUNTABILTY is healthy in all areas of our life! The testimony below…is a tribute to right choices! Taking care of the physical body God blessed us with!
This testimony is from my dear friend Cindy Lemley. I am so proud of her, she is an inspiration to us all. This story is about HER journey and her discipline!
Her BEFORE and her AFTER…..
After many years of talking, attempting and a little complaining, I finally
made a decision that its time to become healthy and lose weight. That was
January of 2008. I started on my own in this journey until my husband
talked with someone he works with about my commitment. She suggested that I
go with her to a Weight Watchers meeting. I was really surprised by what I
learned and decided to try it out. I am so glad I did!! Just one year
later, I have met my goal and become a lifetime member with Weight Watchers.
I am now 96lbs lighter and went from a size 26 to a 12-14!!!

The 2 main ideas that got me started was first of all making a decision to
do it and second, admitting I needed help doing it. If I didn't have the
Weight Watchers program and the group I went with, I don't think I would
have been able to get to my goal. Changing my eating and exercising habits 1
at a time helped keep me going along with the results I was seeing. Once I
had lost about 30lbs, I let my family in on what I was doing. When I told
my sister, Tina, we made a commitment to running a 1/2 marathon together.
She has ran many races - full & 1/2 marathons and smaller races. So I began
exercising to get my body ready for training. With Tina's help, I am now on
a training schedule to prepare for a 1/2 marathon at the end of April inNashville.
Hope this help inspire others that you can do what you put your mind to. So
make a decision and do it!!! Hiccups, as I like to call them, become much
easier to work through if you know what and why your doing something!!!
